WOOO HOOOO, Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to get there too. I have 23 lbs to go so it's within reach. Keep up the great work. Pretty soon the 200's will be a distant memory.

I don't think two bites here and there are going to derail your surgery. I have read on here many people who have cheated on the pre-op and were not crucified by others. I think you will do fine. I was not required to do the pre-op liquid diet, just liquids the day before surg. I was 333 lbs on surgery day and now 10 1/2 months later down 110 lbs all post op. Don't let them set you up for failure. You can do it and I believe in you. Good luck

I've had 4 fills. I think I have about 8 cc in 10cc band and have great restriction but up till fill #3 none. Good luck hope you get there soon!

Remember those are only averages. I had surgery 11-19-08 at 333 and now 10 1/2 months later have lost 108 lbs. down to 225. Good luck you will make the best decision for you.

I lived on pintos and cheese from taco bell. So yummy and filling!!!!

Congratulations, Hope all goes well for you. I have been on this incredible journey for 10 1/2 months now and have lost 106 lbs. and wouldn't change a thing. Good luck you will do well!!!

You are doing amazing!! Congratulations, keep it going. Doing something everyday keeps you motivated to do more.

Jen- I feel like I'm reading a blog I could have wrote. In May 2007 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, 3 days later my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis to her liver and bone. We both underwent chemo and radiation, hers being much worse than mine. My cancer is in remission right now and my mom's cancer has been stable since January 2009. Then unfortunately a few weeks ago my brother was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma also and is now undergoing treatment. Keep positive there is still much hope. My prayers are with you and your family.
